OK, I got the libpcap source (libpcap-4.0.tar.gz), but when I try to do a
./configure for it on my RedHat box, I get the error "checking for ANSI
ioctl definitions ... no <newline> configure: error: see the INSTALL for
more details."

When I look in INSTALL, all it sais about ioctl is if the "checking for"
line sais "yes" I need to run fixincludes (which does not exist on my
system).

The ethereal INSTALL file seems to think that there *is* a libpcap-devel
rpm file.  If so, where can I find it?

Thanx
